Hannah Jane Kile – On first impression she is sweet and lovely, bright and cheerful…then, with a flourish of harmony pouring from her guitar, she steps up to sing…and you enter another realm. Hannah is radiantly fluent in the universal language of song, and she has the gift of making seriously beautiful music with effortless grace. Her performances are always artistically surprising and deeply moving. She finds treasure in even the most daunting of life’s experiences. Her songs and her voice, soulful and haunting, are magic, and she is fearless in sharing the most complex of emotions with her listeners.

Performing with an openhearted sense of compassion and wonder, her voice soaring from an earthy blues swagger to an ethereal heart rending whisper, like a lullaby in a storm, she packs an emotional wallop. Eloquent, warm and wise in an innocent way, she has a comprehensive artistic vision, a vision that is as inspiring as it is engaging.

Two major inspirations shaping Hannah’s work are the music of Stephen Sondheim, who lit a deep spark of desire to master the art of storytelling in her compositions, and the iconic intensity of Bonnie Raitt, who fires Hannah’s drive to push beyond the idea of being a “singer who plays” and be a “player who sings”.

Sondheim’s ability to create complex three-dimensional characters using music and lyrics provided Hannah a map for her determination to have her own songs achieve similar power and detail that add up to revealing portraits of human nature. And Raitt’s courage in exceeding all expectations for a young artist, mastering her instrument with compelling technique, and carrying the traditions of guitar based music into a promising future continually kindles her imagination.

Hannah writes inspiring music that is all the richer for the heartfelt intimacy of her voice. Hers is a sincere craft, created with a jeweler’s attention to design. Her songs are saturated with a charm and melodic color that can be as evocative as Appalachian ballads or as rousing as Broadway show tunes, and they shine with pure emotional truth.

The Campfire Crooners are an original Americana-style band from the Sacramento and Foothills area. The band appears live in a variety of formats, but maintains the same core members – who originally started as a trio – including Carl Salmonsen (guitar, vocals), Tim Onorato (bass, mandolin, guitar, vocals), and Mark Seifert (keyboards, melodica, percussion, vocals).

Most of the Crooners songs focus around the writing of Sacramento-based singer-song-writer Carl Salmonsen.
Carl was a long time (10 years) member of Sacramento-based cover band Blue Fish as well as lead guitarist for the now-defunct original band Stunt Double. Carl regularly plays in Sacramento and the surrounding area as either a solo act, with some format of the Crooner Trio or with the full Campfire Crooners band.
